With the **Pattern Hub Pages** extension, you can take your collections even further by combining multiple Pattern Hub items to create full-page layouts. ![Pattern Hub Pages](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Pattern-Hub-Pages-scaled-1.jpg)Getting Started To use the *Pattern Hub Pages plugin*, you must have the **[Ultimate/Lifetime Plan](https://www.kadencewp.com/pricing)** and [**Kadence Pattern Hub** **plugin** **pre-installed**,](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/kadence/create-a-pattern-hub/) activated, and licensed on the website first. Afterward, you can continue to install and use the **Pattern Hub – Pages** plugin. You can download the Pattern Hub Pages plugin from the [Kadence account downloads.](https://www.kadencewp.com/my-account/downloads/) ![Download Pages](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Download-Pages-1024x986-1.jpg) Once the plugin is downloaded, navigate to the **Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New** page, then click on the Upload Plugin button at the top of the page. ![Upload Kadence Blocks Pro](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Upload-Kadence-Blocks-Pro-scaled-1.jpg) Install and activate the *Pattern Hub Pages plugin* and leave it activated alongside the *Kadence Pattern Hub plugin* to successfully use this extension. Creating Pages New pages can be created from the **Dashboard -> Pattern Hub -> All Page Items** page. To build a page, you must already have **pattern** **items** created that can be used within the page. *([Click here](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/kadence/create-a-pattern-hub/#step-1-build-your-first-pattern-hub-item) to learn about creating Pattern Hub Items.)* Begin creating a new page by clicking the **Add New Page Item** button. ![Add New Page Item](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Add-New-Page-Item-scaled-1.jpg)Page Pattern Layout The first set of settings is the **Page Pattern Layout** settings. Here, you can select multiple existing Pattern Hub Items to form a complete page. ![Page Pattern Layout](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Page-Pattern-Layout-scaled-1.jpg)- Use the **select** **pattern** button to select an initial pattern or change a current selection to a new one. - Use the **add** **another** **pattern** button to add additional patterns to the page layout. - Use the **arrow** **icons** to re-arrange patterns already imported into the current page. - Use the **remove** **pattern** button to remove any existing imported pattern items. ![Creating Pattern Hub Pages](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Creating-Pattern-Hub-Pages.gif)This allows you to combine multiple pattern hub items into a full page layout. Custom Fields Use the **Custom** **Fields** section to add optional, additional Custom Fields to the post metadata. This can be useful for grabbing additional data in more advanced use-cases. The available field names consist of sections and footnotes. Additionally, you can set a custom value. You can learn more about Custom Fields in WordPress [here](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/assign-custom-fields/). ![custom fields](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/custom-fields-scaled-1.jpg)Author The **Author** area defines who the author of the Pattern Hub Page Item is. By default, this is set to the original creator of the Pattern Hub Page Item. ![Author](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Author.jpg) Pattern Hub Page Categories Categories allow you to easily sort Pattern Hub Pages. When front-facing users view your Pattern Hub, they will be able to use categories for navigating multiple page patterns. You can learn more about building [Pattern Hub Page Categories below](#creating-page-categories). ![Page Categories](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Page-Categories.jpg) Collections Pattern Hub offers the use of **Collections** to control which access key has access to which set of items. Assign the page to the appropriate collection(s) to ensure it can be accessed from accessible pattern hub connections. You can [click here](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/kadence/create-a-pattern-hub/#Creating-and-assigning-Pattern-Hub-Collections) to learn more about Pattern Hub collections. ![Page Collections](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Page-Collections.jpg) ![Collections](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Collections-1-scaled-1.jpg)Featured Image The **Featured** **Image** setting allows you to manually set a featured image for the Page Item. When viewing the design library, the featured image will be shown to represent the Pattern Page. ![Featured Image](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Featured-Image-1.jpg) Pattern Hub has a built-in method for obtaining full images of your Pattern Items and Pattern Pages. In these cases, you do not need to manually set a featured image. Instead, [you can follow the steps in this guide](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/kadence/generating-preview-thumbnails/) to learn how you can automatically generate featured images for your Pattern Items and Pages. ![Generate Thumbnails](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Generate-Thumbnails-scaled-1.jpg)Creating Page Categories Help sort/categorize different pages using the Page Categories. You can access them from the **Dashboard -> Pattern Hub -> Page Categories** page. Here, you can create, edit, and delete Page Categories. ![Creating Page Categories](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Creating-Page-Categories.gif)Once you have a Page Category, you can assign it to Page Items when creating or editing them. ![Page Categories Demo](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Page-Categories-Demo-scaled-1.jpg)Afterward, when accessing the Pattern Hub, you will be able to browse through Page Item Categories to filter items. ![Page Item Categories in the Design Library](https://docs.nexcess.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Page-Item-Categories-in-the-Design-Library.gif)Enabling/Disabling Pages Pattern Hub Pages can be enabled or disabled from your *Pattern Hub Library*.
